Chapter 524 Extra 3 Yan Cang
Ever since the day Lang Cang allowed the orcs to visit Lin Baiyan, their dwelling has never been without people. Today, it was Lu Xiao who came.
He was holding a basket in his hands, sitting on one side of the soft couch by the window, sewing an animal skin coat. Opposite him, Lin Baiyan was playing with a rattle drum to amuse a cub.
They had been gone for so long, and after returning to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Lin Baiyan had been unconscious. This was the first time he had seen Lu Xiao's two cubs since he woke up.
In the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the food for cubs is never harsh. The little Asian beastman Xiong Xi was raised with a round head and an adorable appearance, just like his father Xiong Fei.
Little sister Lu Shu rode on her brother's back like a little tyrant, pawing at Lin Baiyan's rattle-drum suspended in the air with her little hooves.
The little brown bear wasn't annoyed at all; it even put all four paws on the ground and arched its back slightly, trying to lift its sister up even higher.
Lin Baiyan looked down at the two siblings working together and burst out laughing. He rubbed Xiao Lushu's antlers and stuffed the rattle drum into the little brown bear's arms. He saw Xiao Lushu struggling to get into the little brown bear's arms, her goal very clear.
Seeing his sister's anxious look, the little brown bear blinked his adorable big eyes and placed the rattle drum directly in front of the little deer.
"He doesn't fight or compete," Lin Baiyan chuckled as she watched their actions.
Hearing the sound, Lu Xiao looked up and saw the scene. She smiled helplessly, "I wonder who Shu took after? Neither his father nor I are domineering people."
“It’s normal for male beastmen to be a bit domineering; they’ll grow out of it.” As he spoke, Little Deer Shu tugged at his brother’s body, shoving him into Lin Baiyan’s arms, and then squeezed himself in as well, ending up on top of Little Bear Xi.
The two cubs sensed a peaceful and gentle atmosphere, sniffed their little noses with great delight, and rubbed their heads against each other contentedly.
Lin Baiyan reached out and stroked their soft fur, smiling as she said, "How are you? This is the first time I've seen you since you gave birth. It was so dangerous back then, are you alright?"
Lu Xiao put down the half-finished animal skin garment she was sewing, looked up at Lin Baiyan whose face was ashen, and said, "You gave me so much blood, I'm already fine."
"But you, you've been awake for almost half a month now, how come you still look so haggard?" Lu Xiao's eyes were filled with unconcealed worry.
Lin Baiyan said helplessly, "It's much better now, you don't need to worry."
Just then, an autumn breeze blew in through the window. It had rained yesterday, and the cool autumn wind made Lin Baiyan's throat itch, causing him to cough lightly.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Baiyan immediately wrapped his cloak tighter, stuffing the two cubs inside as well, while the ramblings of Lang Cang before he left echoed in his mind.
Lin Baiyan, realizing what she was doing: "..."
It seems that our city lord's nagging has taken root in people's hearts. Almost immediately, four words popped into Lin Baiyan's mind: Don't overwork!
Noticing Lin Baiyan's strange expression, Lu Xiao closed all the half-open windows. "I'm telling you, at least think about yourself. Otherwise, when the city lord returns and sees you're cold, he might forbid anyone else from visiting you."
Lin Baiyan chuckled sheepishly, "I know, I know."
The two sat and chatted for a while before Lang Cang, who had gone out, returned, carrying a skewer of grilled fish in his hand.
When she saw Lu Xiao, she nodded to him, then tore some fish meat from the skewer of grilled fish and fed it to the two cubs in Lin Baiyan's arms.
"You went fishing?" Lin Baiyan tilted his head slightly, looking at the male orc in front of him.
Lang Cang lowered his eyes, tore off a piece of tender meat from the fish's belly, and stuffed it into Lin Baiyan's mouth. "It rained last night, and the East River rose, so a lot of fish have surfaced. I thought you like grilled fish, so I went and got a few."
Lin Baiyan and the two little cubs in his arms, one big and two small, were extremely happy.
Seeing that Lang Cang had returned, Lu Xiao quickly stood up, pulled his two mischievous children out of Lin Baiyan's arms, and stuffed them into the basket. "Since the city lord has returned, we'll be leaving now."
The two cubs seemed a little reluctant, struggling to stick their little heads out of the basket. Lu Xiao quickly pressed their heads back down, saying, "Alright, if you want to eat fish, go back and let your father catch some for you."
Doesn't he know his two cubs well enough? That reluctant look on their faces is probably because of the incredibly tempting grilled fish in Lang Cang's hand!
Lu Xiao picked up the basket and ran outside, disappearing in the blink of an eye before Lin Baiyan could even call out to him.
After Lu Xiao left, Lin Baiyan looked up at the expressionless Lang Cang with amusement, "What did you do? Why are they so afraid of you?"
Aside from the initial fear the beastmen caused by Lang Cang's icy demeanor, they gradually lost their fear after spending time with him.
Why does it look like we've gone back to square one?
Lang Cang placed the grilled fish in his hand onto the plate beside him, then reached out and touched Lin Baiyan's fingertips. His brows furrowed involuntarily. "Why is it so cold?"
Did you open the window?
Lin Baiyan felt a little guilty after being hit where it hurt, but he didn't dare to hide it from the male beastman, "It only lasted for a very short while..."
Lang Cang lowered his eyes, staring at him intently without saying a word.
"I swear, I only coughed twice and then immediately wrapped my cloak tighter!" Lin Baiyan felt uneasy under his gaze and quickly assured him, "And I listened to you. I didn't leave the room today because it was cool, I only opened the window for a short while."
Seeing that Lang Cang still didn't speak, Lin Baiyan had no choice but to change the subject, "Didn't you say you were going to the Southwest Mountains today?"
At this moment, Lang Cang sighed and gently pulled Lin Baiyan into his arms. The bones on the shoulders of the sub-beastman in his arms were particularly prominent, and they were a little rough to the touch. "Hu Qiu went for me. I remembered that you mentioned to me the other day that you wanted to eat fish, so I went to the East River to catch fish for you."
"How come he hasn't gained any weight after all these days?" How could Lang Cang leave him in his current state?
Speaking of this, Lin Baiyan was also a little frustrated. He hugged the male orc's lean waist, rested his chin on his waist and abdomen, and said with a bitter face, "What can I do? I eat as soon as I wake up all day, and I eat before I go to bed. I feel like you are ruining me."
He looked at Lang Cang ingratiatingly, "Are you busy tomorrow? Could you take me out for a walk?"
He dared not say that he wanted to go out alone, and could only hope that Lang Cang would take pity on him and at least take him out for a stroll.
"Okay? Just go out and play for a little while." Lin Baiyan buried her face in his waist and rubbed against him.
Lang Cang lowered his head and pinched his cheek. He knew that this act of acting cute must have a backup plan. Sure enough, here it came.
After a long silence, Lin Baiyan was somewhat discouraged. It seemed there was still no way to go out. He moved his face away from Lang Cang and then looked up: "Hmph, fine, I knew you wouldn't agree."
At the same time, a voice came, "Where do you want to go?"
Lin Baiyan blinked, somewhat stunned. "What did you just say?"
Looking at the little orc's furious expression, Lang Cang said with a half-smile, "I think I just heard someone say that if you don't want to go, you don't have to?"
Lin Baiyan quickly pulled him back to her waist, straightened up, and kissed the male beastman on the chin, blinking her innocent cat-like eyes: "No, no one was talking just now~"
"I knew Cang was the best to me!"
Yes! Finally, I can go out for some fresh air!
